Share this:

The minor league season wrapped up yesterday, which means its time to call on the Farmstros Village again to vote on a player of the month. (Voting runs through Saturday, September 10) This month’s installment includes games played in September as well. Early next week, you will have a chance to vote for the player and pitcher of the year at http://www.farmstros.blogspot.com/.

Many thanks for Following the Astros the Future with us this season. I am grateful to Nick Matthews and Chron.com for giving me this new platform to share my love for the Astros’ minor league system this season.

Blake Ford, 23, RHP, GCL Astros. With three saves and a 2-0 record on the month, the University of Lamar product had a hand in five of the GCL Astros’ victories. In six outings, he allowed six hits and struck out nine. He did not allow a run in 8 2/3 IP.

Anderson Hernandez, 28, IF, Oklahoma City. Hernandez spent most of the final 36 days of the season on a 30-game hitting streak. He finished August/September 50 for 140 with 10 doubles, two triples, one home run, 15 RBI, 23 runs scored and five stolen bases for the RedHawks.

Emilio King, 22, OF, Lexington. King went 35 for 108 with 10 doubles, one triple, four home runs and 15 RBI. He also scored 16 runs in August and September for the Legends.

Joshua Magee, 19, IF, Greeneville. At one point in August, Magee had hits in 12 straight at bats. Over-all for August-plus, he was 32 for 85 (.375) with six doubles, one home run and 10 RBI.

Jordan Scott, 19, OF, Greeneville/Tri-City. Scott spent most of the end of the season in Greeneville; however, he had a brief call-up to Tri-City. Between the two assignments, he was 38 for 110 (.345) with seven doubles, three triples, one home run, 19 RBI, 20 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Jonathan Singleton, 19, IF, Lancaster. Singleton jumped right into the swing of things in Caifornia after being acquired in the Hunter Pence trade. He was 42 for 128 with eight doubles, one triple, four home runs, 16 RBI and 20 runs scored.
